See move 14 or so
Why is engine so insistent that I retreat my bishop?
Sort:
I think it has to do with the g4 square and not the bishop that is on that square.
Your knight cannot move to g4 while your bishop is on that square.
i believe dale is correct. it wants to free that square. also going to e6 makes black need to waste a tempo to protect the a pawn before they can move the rook.
This thread is hillarious. Neither one of you has a 900 rating and your playing with engines??
Sorry man but this game is terrible.Like first you sac your bishop without any sense.Then you played 10..Dd4? instead of simple Qxb2.I don't want even comment 20..Rf2??.and then you ask why engine retreat a bihop.It would be probably better for you to ask:"Why my opponent played so stupid?"
The engine wants you to move your bishop for one simple reason:
IT IS A GOOD MOVE!
What is your bishop doing there? And Nh5 is terrible what is the knight doing there?!
